Glimpses of Sentiments
ORNAMENTAL MAKE-UP OF DEVOTION IN
UNHAPPINESS
Oh my dear! I am stunned to hear you. I feel that I have ignored you by arranging and placing at the root of the complete surrender, happiness and conveniences instead of yourself as Love. Instead of grain I fell in attachment with grass; that was my mistake. When you spoke, I realised the truth. When unhappiness gets very intensive then, surrender to you also becomes very intensive. When unhappiness recedes then devotion also decreases. When all around there is happiness to you also a salute from far away When there is a caravan of pain and miseries then only there is decorative devotion. When I get surrounded by the clouds of adversities then only shower my feelings of devotion. Otherwise I remain thirsty; what a weak link I have ! I am such unworthy, disloyal, shameless! Prabhu ! You pardon me ----- But my Prabhu ! May I ask you a question ? Have I never followed your order at all ? Have I not gone to the righteous 'GURU' ? Have I not remained in company of 'SADHARMIK'S'? Have I not got company in my 'SADHANA' ?
